Infidelity Therapists in Cortlandt Manor, NY

My expertise is working with couples and individuals who want to improve their communication and resolve conflict harmoniously. Strong emotions such as anger, depression, and anxiety can stymie resolution or reconciliation. Are you both committed to your relationship, but struggling to resolve a conflict or get along? Learning how to process the dynamics in your relationships can empower you to make the changes you desire - including recovery from infidelity. I get excited when I have the opportunity to help couples find connection in the midst of the conflict.

My goal for treatment is to provide a safe environment for clients to increase awareness and learn to challenge themselves to make step-by-step changes. Anxiety and depression are many times clues to internal discourse. Whether it's related to a relationship, job, or general life stressors, learning to manage your thoughts, feelings and emotions will help keep functioning at optimal levels.

I specialize in relationships therapy for individual, couples, and groups focusing on challenges such as communication, healthy boundaries, reconnecting, overcoming infidelity, and moving on after breakups. I have significant experience with LGBTQ+/Poly/ENM relationships.

"Alis grave nihil": Nothing is heavy to those with wings. My goal is to help clients learn to fly above their pain, fears, stressors. My job is providing the tools and guidance to recognize the issues. In my practice, these tools might include cognitive or behavioral techniques or other methods/theories, including mindfulness. The approach to wellness might include spiritual or physical health but, in all things, the focus is on the client and it always takes his/her needs and desires as primary. Beyond techniques is always the importance in discovering the underlying causes. There is no one path. For each person it is unique.

You remember the beginning of your relationship. How lucky you felt to finally find someone to share your hopes and dreams. You were sure you’d be together forever. But lately those fairy-tale days feel like a distant memory. Now you sit at mealtimes close enough to touch…but worlds apart. There’s so much you want to say to your partner if only you could find the words. The silence between you is cold and tense, but you just can’t face another exhausting fight. You’ve always been able to accomplish whatever you put your mind to, but it’s just not working this time. You feel hopeless. Alone.

In my over 25 years of clinical experience, I have found that there are common psychological obstacles that prevent people from experiencing a high-quality life. Many people have histories of working hard to build better lives and manage distressing psychological symptoms, yet remain stuck in frustrating patterns, unable to make positive changes. I believe that the difficulty is not in the effort they have put in to try and improve, but in the missing personal insights, and the lack of knowledge regarding the use of specialized improvement strategies.

As a Trauma-Informed Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I utilize AEDP, IFS, and EMDR-informed therapy to help individuals, couples, and families remove blocks to their power, authenticity, healing, potential, vitality, and relational richness. Sometimes, people know why they are stuck, but it doesn’t seem to move the needle. This is where an experiential process differs from merely understanding something intellectually. I believe that true healing requires more than just insight; it requires a deep, embodied experience of change.
